Britney's cars to be sold off by her dad

Washington, Mar 20 : Troubled American singer Britney Spears has had to give up some of her cars to her dad, who plans to dispose of them permanently.

James Spears, who is the singer's father, was granted power by the court on March 17 to "sell or dispose of" an untold number of her seven cars, as shown in the documents.

Reason for the disposal of the cars, as stated by Jamie Spears' lawyers, was because maintaining the fleet of vehicles was too expensive, and that the sale of "a certain of" her cars "will save substantial expense to the conservatorship estate."

Among the cars are two white Mercedes (a SL65 and a CLK350), a white Mini Cooper convertible, and a black Audi.

On March 17, a court spokesman also revealed that the pop star's 1500 dollars a week allowance "is not her only source of (personal) income," but did not give further details as to where it comes from.

The conservatorship, comprising of Spears's father and a lawyer, will remain in control of her affairs until a July 31 hearing.
